Drinking Wine Alone

Dr. Hook

Lyrics translated into Español · See the original lyrics

I'm laying by the river, on a sunny afternoonEstoy acostado junto al río, en una tarde soleada

The glass of wine beside me, is the colour of the sunEl vaso de vino a mi lado, es del color del sol

Then the river moves inside me, and it all comes rushing backLuego el río se mueve dentro de mí, y todo vuelve con fuerza

There's something about drinking wine aloneHay algo en tomar vino solo

I'm sitting at the table, staring at my plateEstoy sentado en la mesa, mirando mi plato

The meal I fixed so carefully, is wasted I can't eatLa comida que preparé con tanto cuidado, está desperdiciada no puedo comer

The first taste touched a place in me, I'm still afraid to findEl primer sorbo tocó un lugar en mí, aún tengo miedo de encontrar

There's something about drinking wine aloneHay algo en tomar vino solo

There are traces of her waiting, in the place I least expectHay rastros de ella esperando, en el lugar que menos espero

A laugh, a sudden movement, a lighted cigaretteUna risa, un movimiento repentino, un cigarrillo encendido

Am I hiding from the very thing, I tried so hard to find¿Estoy huyendo de aquello, que intenté encontrar con tanto esfuerzo?

There's something about drinking wine aloneHay algo en tomar vino solo

I have wasted something precious, and it quickly slipped awayHe desperdiciado algo precioso, y se escapó rápidamente

Like moonbeams through my fingers, as I turned the other wayComo rayos de luna entre mis dedos, mientras miraba hacia otro lado

Am I waiting for a miracle, or have I just been blind¿Estoy esperando un milagro, o simplemente he sido ciego?

There's something about drinking wine aloneHay algo en tomar vino solo
